Our Wedding

It all started with a project manager chasing me through the office. Headphones on, mind firmly set on lunch, I was completely oblivious and led him all the way upstairs and outside before he finally managed to get my attention. Sadly, this wasn't a romantic declaration; he just wanted me to be in a video for a client. However, a few weeks later, he asked me to stay behind after a meeting, and suggested meeting up for a drink.&nbsp;

Beginnings 

Since that day, our lives have slowly intertwined. We've been welcomed into each other's families with open arms. For me, that's meant the real joy of getting to know my two amazing future stepchildren, Molly and Percy. I really lucked out here – they've both accepted me with warmth and kindness, and I feel truly honoured to be joining their family.

Building our life together

We got engaged on 8th August 2023. Matt whisked me away on a surprise trip for my 40th birthday, which turned out to be a walk up Pen-y-Ghent and a night at a gorgeous hotel in Settle. At the top of the hill (after lunch, of course) he got down on one knee. It was perfect.

Things to Do

Registry

A couple of days after the wedding, we’ll be treating ourselves to a night in a lovely hotel in Cartmel. One last excuse to put off the prospect of returning to real life! Then, in May, we’re heading off to Switzerland, which is a place we’ve both always wanted to visit. We’ll start in Zurich with a trip to St. Gallen, then down to Lucerne and up the Stoosbahn funicular, then Interlaken and Grindelwald, and through the dramatic Lauterbrunnen valley. Our plan is simple: walking, eating, and soaking up as much of the scenery as we can. We really don’t expect presents, but if you’d like to contribute to our honeymoon fund, we’d be so grateful. Your gift (of any size) will help us enjoy train rides, delicious Swiss food (including plenty of chocolate and cheese), and a few extra touches to make the trip unforgettable. We can’t wait to share our adventures with you when we get back. For anyone who would like to contribute, here's our <a href="https://prezola.com/buy/view/259626" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">honeymoon fund</a>.
